    Travel to Scotland August 2014 Pictures

    Hi Guys,

    finally this year I had my first occasion to travel to Scotland.
    I loved it and was impressed by the beauty of the country - though I didn't see enough - and the people...everybody was warm, friendly and open.
    We enjoyed it! It won't be the last time I visited this wonderful country.
    Here a some of the numerous pictures my girlfriend and I have taken...

    Great photos, Thanks for posting. Looks like a wonderful time.
    Not sure why but the attachments in the second post directs me to an invalid message.

    Thanks! Yeah it was a really great time but much too short.
    I changed the post. Should work now.

    Did you see the dolphins patroling, just in front of the lighthouse Tom? For future reference for those wanting to see them when visiting, they often patrol within some 20 yards of the shore there, and sometimes the dolphins play about by leaping high into the air and as they are the largest(in size) Northern dolphins, by some margin I believe, they hit the water again with some sort of splash!

    "Nessie exists"

    Yes, she does. You can see her in your first Loch Ness picture.

    Thanks for sharing these inviting images.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Hi thanks for the great pictures. I will be in Darmstadt at the end of this month for a week before heading to Scotland. Any highland type sites in Darmstadt you can recommend?
